We’re told 45 minutes for a table. They tried to sit us at a high top when we had two infants with us and then told us it would be another 45 minutes. Nobody asked us if we needed anything. Nobody apologized for the wait. After 2 hours we decided we had to leave.

If I could give zero stats I would. We waited literally 2 hours for a table. Were told it would be 45 to an hour. No check in no apologies totally ignored us. We had a large party but they should have set better expectations and should have checked in but totally ignored us and frankly showed zero customer service.

Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant is a staple in Colorado. I have been going to the location in Fort Collins since I was a little girl and have loved the restaurant since (the difference is now I get to imbibe in their famous margaritas)!We arrived at the restaurant and were seated in the main dining room. The aesthetic of the restaurant was that of a lively cantina; the place was packed, and everyone was having a good time. Our server Mark was stellar - he had great energy and was quick with service despite the busy restaurant. The General Manager was active on the restaurant floor, helping his staff and customers our entire meal.I started off our meal with The Classic Rio Marg made with a legendary mixture of tequila, salt and lime on the rocks. Nothing beats a Classic Rio Marg; each sip was fresh and crisp with the tequila balancing out the acidity of lime juice.The Chile Con Queso was made with a cheese blend and pico-de-gallo. This is my favorite queso in town - silky smooth with perfect cheesy taste.The Guacamole was made with pico-de-gallo, cilantro, & cotija cheese; it had a delicious punch of lime. The diced onions, tomatoes, and cilantro added crunch to the creamy guacamole.The Sauteed Chicken Enchiladas were made with Jack cheese & classic enchilada sauce. The tender & flavorful shredded chicken was stuffed in corn tortillas and smothered in sauce.The Steak Quesadilla was made with onion, serrano peppers, jack cheese, & Mexican spices. The crisp warm tortilla clung to plenty of melty jack cheese & grilled steak.The Crab & Shrimp Enchiladas were made with Atlantic red crab, shrimp, jack, and tomatillo sauce. The corn tortillas were generously filled with sweet seafood and coated in savory sauce.The Ahi Lettuce Wraps were a light, fresh seasonal offering. The cubed ahi tuna loaded the lettuce wraps with a nice citrus mandarin salsa.For dessert we had the Crispy Sopapilla made with tortilla dough, cinnamon, and sugar. The homemade sopapillas were dusted in cinnamon sugar and topped with cold, vanilla ice cream making for sweet bites. The fried, puffed dough was flakey and soft and stood out with a drizzle of honey.

We had heard really great things about this place but was very disappointed and was definitely not worth the money for what we got, got takeout beef fajitas for $30 and there was literally enough stuff in there to make 1 good 8” fajita. Total rip-off. Chili relleno was straight off the Sysco food truck. I can tell. The only descent thing was the spinach enchilada. Total bill was $80. You would think we would get more than 1 small container of salsa.Overall a bad experience. Maybe the dine in experience is a lot better.
